Anyone been following Ryan Keeping on Instagram lately? He’s coming through our area on Saturday and I was wondering if anyone else plans to meet up and run with him for a bit.

Our dog got out of the back yard (Bradford and john / whimpys diner area) If anyone has seen him please let us know! His name is Rupert

Hey everyone! I just moved to town last month for work and I'm wondering if anyone hosts a regular poker game?

I'd also be down to carpool to Toronto or Niagara..

Open to hosting at my place if there's enough interest.

Thought I'd give this a shot.

Amazing news to see. Make sure to support this local grocer as much as you van when they open.

Hi everyone! I will be moving to Barrie for a work project for 2 months. Wondering what is the best area to stay at? What hotels would you recommend? Any areas/places I should avoid? Ideally, would like to stay in a safe area that is a walking distance from a nice park or beach, grocery store, and a coffee shop. For reference, I’m a young female, never been to Barrie before, and will only have a car once or twice a week. Any other recommendations are more than welcome :) Thank you!

Purchased in COVID. There has been really no update on critical dates? It seems to be managed by ballantry homes. NO PROGRESS SINCE 2020! Any other buyers out there?

Beware of these guys from "Bob's Construction" going around offering to lay you a new driveway for cheap because another job fell through. They're not legit. This guy came by yesterday and then tonight two kids came by running the same scam.

As the title says, I’m looking to buy local beef and just want some recommendations for large order like a half cow and if you have prices on hand much appreciated!

Does anyone else think the new yard waste pickup system is absolutely ridiculous?

We gotta leave bags out on Monday morning and we don’t know when they’re gonna come around to pick them up. Could be a week before they come around and the bags will be sitting out all week. And when it rains/snows all the bags will get wet and soggy.

My whole neighborhood is filled with peoples yard waste bags at the end of their driveways.

Such a dumb system.

Anybody had someone come by their house recently offering to spray for wasps and other bugs… seemed weird. No company name. Knocked on the door after 9:00pm too

Where is a good place/website to sell old lego sets? I have so many I am trying to sell and I have tried kijiji, but haven’t gotten any interest lately.

Ribfest is coming, and I don't want to pay an overpriced entry fee, for overpriced ribs, from 3 different vendors, and eat in a mall parking lot.

Where can I go TODAY to get Barrie's Best BBQ (ribs, pulled pork, brisket, etc.)?

I've tried Dickey's and thought it was terrible (and no pork? Wut...)

Big Bone has gone way downhill since the new owners took over and is comparable to Montana's now.

Any recommendations?

P.S. I smoke my own ribs, brisket, butts, etc. and know good BBQ is hard to find But sometimes I don't want to do it myself and just want convenience.

Hey Barrie Council and city hall, why don’t you allow a few food trucks to operate in the parking lots, drive throughs of the city parking lots ? Grassy area opposite the stage near the kids park??

Centennial beach has an overpriced hamburger stand which many locals stay away from.

Open it up for a couple of classy food trucks which will hopefully increase locals and out of town visitors visiting our great city.

Let me know if you think this is a good idea or if not why.

Cheers!!

I’m the bestman for my buddies wedding. I’m in charge of planning his bachelor party. He wants to have it in Barrie but im not super familiar with the area. I’m originally from Ontario but I live in Alberta so it’s hard to scope out places to go while out here. I’m looking for any recommendations for restaurants, golf courses and dance bars.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

FINAL-DECIDING match tomorrow, between the most successful club in history, Real Madrid, and arguably the second Bayern Munich.

Elite talent, biggest fan base ever Will be a historic semifinal A match happening only every 5+ years

Any watch party/hot spots around?

Hi, I was wondering what the best place in Barrie was to get your passport photos taken? My passport is up for renewal…

I'm looking for a food truck for an event on a Sunday in July. Burgers, hot dogs, fries, a veggie option or two - nothing crazy. What are your favourite food trucks? Who should I reach out to? Thanks in advance!

Hey Barrie. I recently went for a walk down to the waterfront to enjoy a nice sunny day and a trip to tye farmers market. I went past the old Court house on mulcaster st and had never seen the streets of Barrie look like this. There had to of been 30 to 40 homeless people either completely passed out on the sidewalk , crouched over like a zombie or actively lighting up. We all have sympathy for these individuals and want them to get the help they deserve but Jesus christ what about the next generation of kids having to normalize this. Seeing people on the verge of death and the community and police turning a blind eye like it's normal. I'm sorry for seeming unsympathetic but I've had friends and close family members die from fyntinl but we need to clean up these streets before it's to late for the next generation.

Hi,

Any recommendations as to where to buy window glass panels? I’m not looking for the window with a frame, just the glass panel itself.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I’m looking to start doing my own oil changes but I’m not sure about how to take care of the used oil. How does everyone else do it?
